The Curling Club returns to London for a festive winter season

Fancy a little après-ski action without leaving London? The Curling Club is making its much-anticipated return this winter, bringing its signature mix of ice-free curling, festive drinks and alpine-inspired fun to two London locations. Returning to Vinegar Yard, London Bridge, from 4^th November for its third consecutive year, the popular winter attraction will also make a comeback at Chelsea Winter Village, part of Chelsea Winter Illuminations, from 25^th November. Whether you're planning a festive catch-up with friends, a family outing or an office Christmas party, The Curling Club offers a playful take on the classic winter sport, complete with an après-ski atmosphere. And the best part? No previous curling experience is needed, making it perfect for beginners and competitive spirits alike.

At Vinegar Yard, guests can go head-to-head on the curling lanes before warming up with mulled wine, winter cocktails and street food from local vendors. Expect lively DJs, festive entertainment and plenty of opportunities to embrace the mountain-lodge atmosphere without the freezing temperatures. Meanwhile, over at the historic Royal Hospital Chelsea, The Curling Club will form part of Chelsea Winter Illuminations, where visitors can combine a curling session with dazzling light displays, festive food and drinks at the Winter Village. Entry to the village is free, with curling sessions bookable separately.

Across both venues, visitors can choose from 30-minute sessions for two to four players or 60-minute games for groups of six to ten, with additional packages available for larger celebrations. So, gather your most competitive friends, wrap up warm and prepare to slide into the festive spirit. After all, who needs the Alps when you've got après-ski in London?

Dates: Vinegar Yard from 4^th November 2026; Chelsea Winter Village from 25^th November 2026Locations: Vinegar Yard, London Bridge and Royal Hospital Chelsea, London
